I reject the suggestion in baltimoresun.com article By Julia Gorin When will world confront the undead of Croatia? Julia Gorin is Serb propaganda apparatus.

According to the Encyclopedia of the Holocaust, Serbian resistance against the Nazis stopped in 1941. The only viable force that fought the Germans was the Partisans, who were comprised mostly of Croatians, Orthodox Croats and Bosnians, and Slovenes. And that occurred late in the war, after they received massive military assistance from the Allies.

Serbian historical revisionism disingenuously ignores their own complicity with Germany during World War II, but consistently censures Croatia as being synonymous with the Ustashe. The Nazis replaced a legitimate government in Croatia with the Ustashe, an exile group of Croatian radicals. On a par with the Vichy and Quisling states, they did not represent Croatians at large, and never enjoyed popularity the Vichy regime had in France. In Serbia, by contrast, the Nazis kept the government headed by former Minister of War, Gen. Milan Nedic. Serbia collaborated to such an extent that the Serbs were able to retain significant civilian authority. The Serbian Orthodox Church openly supported Nazi policy and theologically justified persecution of the Jews. These elements, working together, caused the Nazi civil administrator to proclaim Serbia the only country where the “Jewish question” was solved, and Belgrade the first city “judenfrei.” In is noteworthy that, six months prior to the war, Serbian enacted laws prohibiting Jews to participate in the economy and the university.

A common thesis proclaims the Croatian and Serbian governments equally guilty for the conflict and labels the government in Zagreb as “fascist. “ Tudjman’s government has as much in common with the Ustashe as Moshe Dyan had with the PLO. The Serbs living in Croatia became terrorized after they started to believe the mythologies orchestrated by Milosevic that the Croats were building concentration camps for their Serbian minority, had driven thousands of Serbs from their homes, a plot by the Vatican against Serb Orthodoxy had been uncovered and Germany and Austria were conspiring with Croatia to form a Fourth Reich. Even some of the Western media conspired with the Serbian big lie.

Julia Gorin Serb ultra-nationalists have been able to effectively use to deflect attention away from their evil deeds and what they did to cause Croatia so much diplomatic difficulty in 1990-91-92. If you choose to assemble around Julia Gorin intellectual dishonesty, the Serbs can once again hire the public relations firm of Saatchi and Saatchi to publicize the fact that Croatians are demonstrably proud of being Nazis. Your article will provide fodder to the Serb propaganda apparatus, and re-enforces their thesis that is to blame all sides for the carnage, but never explicitly named the Serbs. You should have spent time on research, instead of relying on fantasy.
